Re: What is the best way to move a directory to a mounted filesystem?

Is File::Copy the wrong thing to use for this? Or am I just doing something wrong?

Ah Dear Esteemed Monk,
If you'd have added a bit of code such as:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use File::Copy;

move('foobar','/mnt/peter/tmp/')or die $!;

You would have recieved a great big hint:

Is a directory at foo.pl line 4.

Uhh ... doesn't the OP do the same thing (he even noted the error message in a comment). -derby	[reply]

doesn't the OP do the same thing Senility must be setting in for me. I somehow missed that. At any rate, I experimented around with this and found that it just plain won't work. Not sure why, but it won't work. If I were to attempt to do what the OP were doing I'd probably use some form of File::Find foo and remove the original afterwards. Peter L.
